From Islay’s youngest distillery comes this small batch Ardnahoe 6 year old. Distilled in July 2019 then bottled in February 2026 the whisky has been shaped by a combination on sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrel maturation.
The release was crafted to welcome MV Isle of Islay, the new Caledonian MacBrayne ferry that now connects the island to the mainland. Bottled at a great strength of 50% abv with no chill-filtration or added colour this is a great limited edition peated whisky from an award winning distillery.
With just 600 bottles available, it's as collectible as it is enjoyable.

- Nose: Initially, it offers a youthful, clean profile, bringing out bright, fruity, and coastal aromas, often with a delicate interplay of orchard fruits and light smoke.
- Palate: The 50% ABV gives a full-bodied texture. Expect a blend of creamy vanilla from the bourbon barrels, a subtle richness from the sherry casks, and a, clean, modern Islay smoke, sometimes described as earthy or ashy.
- Finish: A lasting, clean, and slightly maritime finish.
